A WORD FROM THE OWNERS...

"In 1978, our family moved into 43 Rectory Road, after having lived in Poet s Corner, where earlier generations of our family had resided through both World Wars and back into the Victorian era. We ll never forget the excitement when our parents told us we were moving to Rectory Road yes, that Rectory Road! For young kids, it was thrilling to realize we d be living on such a grand street, with its elegant houses and tree lined avenue. For many years, our parents were active and esteemed members of the local church, school, and college communities, and they are commemorated in St Mary s Church. We enjoyed many happy years surrounded by family and community, with our welcoming, spacious home at the heart of it all a hub for family, friends, and the local church community. The house is perfect for family life, offering ample space to live, work, and relax. It provides areas for socializing, yet plenty of room for privacy when needed. The garden is peaceful, secluded, and wonderfully private our mum s pride and joy back in the day. Thanks to its fantastic location, commuting, working, and socializing from 43 Rectory Road into London, Essex, and beyond is incredibly convenient, thanks to excellent transport links. Anyone familiar with London will tell you Walthamstow is one of the best areas to live and anyone who knows Walthamstow will say that Rectory Road is the best road in E17! Whoever the next occupants are will truly have struck property gold."

"This has been our dream home since 1978 and has seen many many happy times over the decades. Not only wonderful personal moments, but some amazing creative musical achievements throughout the years. So many happy memories are intwined within these unique and beautiful surroundings. The house has an almost magical quality to it which encapsulates an era gone by."
